I have over a decade experience in successfully implementing numerous health programs in resource limited settings. My strengths are in public health, health economics evaluation, capacity building and health system strengthening. My work has contributed to the reduction of disease prevalence and mortality rates in particular HIV, TB and Malaria. I have also led the development of innovative health policies and strategies, promoting health equity and sustainability.
